IhouW  be  altered  and  applied  to  the  irate  of  the  ChrifcU

of  America,  tending  to  defhoy  that  uniformiiy  in  the 
ufe  of  Pfalmody,  fo  defrreable  in  religious  afiemblies  ;

THE  reafonsfor  undrriahing  the  Cerre&iom  and 
Addition:^  contained  in  this  Edition  of  the  Pfalms 
are  fufificiently  explained  in  the  foregoing  'Narra- 
tive of  the  General  Ajfociation\<  Copimittee.  Yet  the  diffi- 
culty of 'giving  general fatisf action  in  attempts  of  this  kind-, 
cannot  be  realized  till  the  experiment  he  made.  Among  the 
many  Verf.ons  which  have  been  given  of  thefe  Divine 
Songs,  in  order  to  adapt  them  to  the  Chrifian  State  and 
Worjhip,  that  of  Doct  .r  Watts  is  undoubtedly  in 
many  refpecls  to  be  preferred.  His  Application  of  the 
prophetic  pajjages-i  his  eafyand  natural  explication  of 
parts  that  are  in  any  rxeafure  objcure  ;  his  pure  dr.d  eleva- 
ted ft  rains  cf  devotion,  fo  pleafng  to  every  pious  and  at- 
tentive Reader,  have  perhaps  never  been  equalled  in  our 
Language  :  And  with  refpeS  to  hii  ftyk  and  manner  of 
verification.,  they  are  not  only  better  adapted  to  the  ihpa- 
cities  ofcopmo'n,  affemblus  ar.d  the  eafy  plemnity  of  church 
mufic,  than  any  other  ilar  Ljve  yet  appeared  ;  but  it  may 
be prefumed  that  no  Poet  after  him  nviil  fuccced  in  c-smto- 
j.p  ievationaljongs \  without  t£ki-g  hi;  mo^ei  sf  ftyle 
and  verification  from  Do&or  Watts.  Wereit  not  for  his 
local  appropriation  of  J :me  Ffaitxs,  and  his  tmiffion  of  a 
few  others,  his  Ver fan  would  doubtlefs  have  been  ufed  fcr 
many  a?es  without  a^indment.  But  as  the  author  of  thefe 
corrections  is  employed^  directed  and fupported  by  fo  re~

And  open  every  feal  ?

And  all  thy  woncers  tei!  ; 
Lo  !   in  his  fovereign  hand,  the  key3 
Of  heaven,  and  death,  and  hell. 

J  He  hath  redeem'd  our  fouls  with  blood, 
Hath  broke  the  prisoner's  chain  ; 
Hath  made  Ui  kings  and  prltC-s  with  God, 
-    And  we  with  h;m  fball  reign.
